Why do so few women become college and university presidents?

There’s a lack of women in top leadership positions at many universities across the country.

A study by the Women’s Power Gap found that only 22 percent of what’s considered R1 universities currently have a woman serving as president. American Association of University Women CEO Gloria Blackwell discusses some of the study’s highlights. New York University Professor Teboho Moja breaks down why this is a systemic issue. CUNY Graduate Center’s President Dr. Robin Garrell explains what’s different at a university with a history of women in its presidency.
